[url=#user_comment_341810]@T[/url]: Plus, "a bunch of tiny countries in Africa", use dot. So the joke's on you. Congrats on making a stupid comment fully based on opinion instead facts.
[url=#user_comment_341810]@T[/url]: The hell it is. International System uses spaces since comma/dot causes confusion around the world. Speaking of International System, i don't think US uses anything at all from it. Temperature, distance, area, volume...

[url=#user_comment_341808]@Marabunta[/url] I'm not from USA. The decimal point is used in English-speaking countries and most of Asia, and the comma in most of Latin America and in continental European languages.
This comic is in English isn't it? If this were a comic in Portuguese or French the comma would be acceptable.
That has to be just about the most half assed lazy joke anyone could possibly make.
With all the other comics I'll like some more than others but I don't think they are bad.
This comic, though, is just awful.

A lot of countries in Europe use Comma.
Do us all a favor and never leave USA and Tumblr.

[url=#user_comment_341794]@Raxyz[/url] the dot is still more important. Who cares if a bunch of tiny countries in Africa use comma? Also the Internatinal System uses the dot.
This! I remember years ago, I was literally raging when I was trying to play online and someone was downloading some sh*t torrents all the freakin' time especially my brother or our neighbours who we split the internet and bill with. Luckily it's much better now, especially if I don't use the wi-fi.

Alternatively you could set the download speed of the torrent client to not the entire bandwidth and stream the video through VLC/MPC-HC. Even Utorrent/Bittorent of all things has this functionality last I checked.

Comma is the good old traditional continental way of doing it. Therefore the only right way! Purge the decimal point heretics!!!
[url=#user_comment_341792]@LainoftheWired[/url]: "comprise roughly 60% of the world's population." China is on the list. Since they alone are almost half of the world, i'd say comma is still more widespread. If you count the amount of countries using it, comma still wins.

Actually, the dots are in the lead.

[url=#user_comment_341790]@Raxyz[/url]: Actually, countries that use the . rather than the , make up about 60% of the worlds population. So most of the world uses the . instead. Most of this population comes from China and India. Other important countries that use it are American, the United Kingdom, Japan, and Australia.
Points are less awkward when the number is in a sentence with commas. I actually started using them in my own laguage for that purpose, but the commas between steps of 1,000 in larger numbers are still annoying. I just use periods for everything. XD

Hey Jo, most of the world used periods instead of comma in this situation, Brazil is one of the few countries that uses it inverted.
Oh, I'm pretty sure it's nothing bad. After all, the 3 golden rules of the internetz still applies today:
1) Nobody dl porn.
2) Nobody dl illegal music.
3) Nobody, but I mean, nobody knows about that urban legend site called pirates cove or something like that.
